Just like stun guns, taser guns are also becoming very popular when talking about self defense and protection. From the name itself, this device is only manufactured by Taser International. The word “taser” is actually considered to be the trademark that every product/device manufactured by such company has. This device is a among the electroshock devices that are less than lethal. Once a target is hit by the metal prongs of the device, he will loose control over his muscles and become immobilized. This is why the device is ideal for self defense. Because the attacker won’t be able to do anything for a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes, you will have a chance to escape and seek some help. But before you purchase such device, you have to consider its three main models – taser C2, M26C/M18L and the X26C model.

The first model which is the C2 is really intended for women because it is very easy to use, small and easy to conceal/carry. Among the three models, this one is actually the smallest and simplest. You can easily carry it around wherever you may go or however you want to use it. It only has one button located on the upper portion of the device and this makes it very easy to use. And, unlike the other two types of taser guns, C2 does not look like a weapon at all but when the fired, it sends a 30-second pulse.

The second model on the other hand which is the M26C or the M18L is ideal for security personnel, law enforcement officers, bounty hunters or any who wants to use the device not just for self defense purposes. This model looks like a real gun and weighs like one. With jus one look, you would not be able to immediately identify that it’s taser. Aside from the appearance or the design of this device, another thing that makes it different from the first model is the fact that when it is fired, it will only send a 5-second pulse – just enough to stop the bad guys.

And lastly, X26C model is known to be the combination of the first and second model. It also looks like a real gun which makes it suitable for bounty hunters, security guards, etc. but it is light weight. Among the three models, this is the most powerful and expensive model. When firing the device, you have an option to choose among the 10-second pulse, 20-second pulse and the 30-second pulse – depending on what the situation requires.

So before actually purchasing the device, you can carefully evaluate the similarities and differences among the different models. Determine the main reason why you want to have such device together with your personal preferences. You have to determine if you need something small and simple, if you need something big, scary and powerful or if you need something that is a combination of both. In this way, you would be able to identify the model that would best work for you.
